Employee engagement has become a nebulous term that is often synonymous with loyalty and productivity within an organization. It’s typically linked to surface-level topics such as recognition programs and improving corporate culture; however, engagement runs deeper than gym reimbursements or work-from-home Fridays. It’s actually so important that the Harvard Business Review Analytic Services Report calls engagement a “top-three” business priority. The study found that 71 percent of business leaders attribute their organizational successes to increased levels of engagement. According to a recent survey of chief financial officers from across the country, “Organizations with high levels of employee engagement significantly outperform those without, and conversely, high levels of disengagement can adversely impact operating income, revenue, and shareholder value.” So how much of a difference can an engaged workforce make? According to Gallup, the potential increase in profitability with a fully engaged workforce is 22 percent. What’s more, organizations with engaged employees on average saw 147 percent higher earnings per share than their competition.
